Stephen,
not knowing what exactly is in your .emacs already, I would suggest
adding the line
(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.tex$" . tex-mode) auto-
mode-alist))
as close to the end of .emacs as possible (so that it doesn't get
overridden by other associations - the order of these things matters).
